PARIS (Reuters) – French construction group Vinci said on Monday that it denied accusations made about working conditions on its work sites in Qatar, and that it would continue to co-operate with the courts over the matter.
“The Vinci Group confirms that its subsidiary VINCI Construction Grands Projets has been summoned by the Nanterre investigating judge on Nov. 9 to answer charges relating to a complaint dating back to 2015,” VInci said in a statement.
“Since 2015, VINCI has vigorously denied the allegations made against it concerning its projects in Qatar conducted by the company QDVC, in which VINCI Construction Grands Projets has a 49% stake,” it added.
